Instrumental Music from Sydney

Hinterlandt is playing a concert on Thursday 06 June 2019 at City Recital Hall in Sydney, as part of the new Ears To The Ground series. The program includes the full ‘Ode to Doubt’ set with Nicole Smede on vocals, and the full ‘Sollbruchstelle’ set. Tickets are $25.

“These idiomatically eccentric pieces variously carried misty echoes Erik Satie, progressive rock, fairground innocence and folk melodies, with phases dedicated to establishing and sustaining rather autumnal moods punctuated by rhythmic and textural surprises. Like a painter working with shades of the same colour, the palette did not shift radically: no starbursts of energy, although there were flashes of elfin lyricism, notably in Sollbruchstelle.” said John Shand in the Sydney Morning Herald about our Art As Catharsis concert at 107 Projects with Alon Ilsar. For this concert, we set up in the middle of the room, with the audience around us, and the clip-on bulbs on our note stands as the only light source.

Following an exciting tour to museums, jazz cafés and indie venues in Hobart, Melbourne, Canberra, Bulleen, Ballarat and Sydney, we are happy to present our new EP “Sollbruchstelle” via Art as Catharsis. “Sollbruchstelle” is a 20-minute piece across three movements. The music is more energetic and rhythmic than our recent albums.

Hello. We’re looking forward to the Australian summer 2017/18! To celebrate, we made Bandcamp Downloads of all available releases free (‘pay what you want’ to be exact) and we will play some concerts: museums, jazz clubs, indie bars. Please come say hi, have a chat and a drink with us.

On 19 January 2017 Sydney label Art As Catharsis releases our brand new album “Ode to Doubt”. It has 40 minutes of acoustic indie-chamber music. Three of seven movements feature vocals, the rest is instrumental. Music and words were written, arranged, recorded and mixed by Jochen Gutsch at the Hinterlab in Sydney. The album celebrates the notion of doubt as a healthy basis for critical thinking.

For these dates the ensemble will consist of various combinations of the following musicians: Simeon Johnson, Natalya Bing, Lidia Bara, Daniel Weltlinger, Brianne Curran, Liron Yariv, Brian Campeau, Nicole Smede, and Jochen Gutsch. We all hope to see you there.
